Today we went to the Museums of the tombs of Sican and Sipan. Personally I think that the Sipan was a lot of more elaborated and detailed. We saw in the Sican museum lots of history about how they lived and in which periods of time. In the Sipan museum we saw three tombs. Two were tombs of Kings and one was a priest. The priest had a beautiful headress that was made to look like owl wings. When our guide blew on it the pieces moved and tinkled. It let a lot of people know when the important people were coming so they had time to come out of there houses. The tombs of the Kings were also VERY pretty! They were headressses that could weigh up to 5 pounds but the kings only were them on special occasions. I got to stand with a guy(who was an actor) that learned how to speak the native language of the Moche tribe. All in all it was an amazing day filled with lots of amazing history and many beautifull things. The picture on the left is the picture of me, Helen and the actor and the one on the right is the picture of me in front of the building that the tombs of Sipan were on.
